Hi Andrew,
Not sure I understand your reply. First, what is "nos"? Secondly, I was
only applying the the criticals for post-SP2, as far as I could judge, given
the timeframe I was searching on the Technet Security Disc 0238.12. Security
Bulletins on this Disc are organized by bulletin number (eg "msc06-001 thru
msc06-003"). In each case I checked to see if there were XP SP2 components
and if so, brought them into the batch file directory before building the
batch file.
Hope this clarifies what I did and you'll be able to decode your response
for me.
Thanks,
Rob
